Application January 17,

2 Claims.

This invention relates ,to new and useful improvements in trimmings, anda method for manufacturing the same.

More specifically the invention proposes the construction of a trimmingwhich consists of a strip of cloth material formed along its length witha plurality of continuously repeated folded designs.

Still further the invention proposes to simultaneously form pressedareas on the folded strip longitudinally along its length and pastethreads along the pressed areas for holding the foldsin position.

Another object of this invention is to provide stitches along the lengthof said strip of material at said pressed areas for assisting saidthreads in holding said folds in position.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:-

TheV trimming,. according to this invention, comprises a strip ofmaterial I9 having a plurality of continuously repeated folded designsII along its length. The folded design is formed by holding the areas I2adjacent each side of the strip, 5y and then pushing the central part ofthe upper edge portion of each of the folds out of line with, andupwardly from the remainder of the folds. The areas I2 are then pressedalong the length of the folded strip of material I0 and 10 threads I3are pasted along the pressed areas I2 for holding the folds information` After the folds have been formed in the strip of material IDand the paste which holds the threads I3 in position has had anopportunity to dry, stitches 15 I4 are formed along the length of thestrip of material I0 at the pressed areas I2 for assisting the threadsI3 in maintaining the -folds II in formation.

The pressed areas comprise channel formations extending along the lengthof the strip I0 which are formed therein by applying pressure to the twosides of the strip of material. The threads I3 are pressed into thecloth, after which the paste is applied thereto for fixedly mounting thefolds I I` and the threads I3 in position.

According to the modification shown in Figs.

7 and 8, a strip of material I0' is provided with a plurality of folds II having the pressed areas I2 and the threads I3 secured thereto in thesame 30 manner as that shown in Figs. 1 to 6. In other respects thisform of the invention is similar to the previous form.

In Figs. 9 and `10 another modification of the invention is shown inwhich a strip I0. is provided 35 with a plurality of differently shapedfolds II having the pressed areas I2 and threads I3I pasted thereon. Inother respects this form of the invention is similar to the previousforms.

In Figs. 11 and 12 a still further modification 40 of the invention hasbeen disclosed in .which a strip of material III is provided with aplurality of still differently shaped folds II" have pressed areas I2and threads I3 secured thereto. In other respects this form of theinvention is similar to the previous forms.

In Fig. 13 a still further modification of the invention has beendisclosed in which a strip of material II) is provided with a pluralityof still differently shaped folds I I having pressed areas I2 andthreads I3 secured thereto. In other respects this form ofthe inventioni s similar to the previous forms.

According to Fig. 14, the strip of material 5I) is formed across itsWidth with a plurality of still differentially formed folds 5I havingthe pressed areas I2 and threads I3 secured thereto in the same manneras described in connection with the previous forms of the invention. Inother respects this form of the invention is the same as the previousforms.

While We have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of ourinvention, it is to be understood that We do not limit ourselves to theprecise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to allchanges and modications coming within the scope of the invention asdefined in the appended claims.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by United States Letters Patent is:

1. A trimming, comprising a strip of cloth material, a plurality ofcontinuously repeated folded designs formed along the length of saidstrip, a pushed out upper edge portion of the central part formed ineach of said folds toradd to the decorativeness thereof, parallelpressed areas formed along the length of said strip on either side ofsaid pushed out central portions, said pushed out upper edge portionsextending above the side portions, a thread pasted along each of saidpressed areas for holding said folds and said pushed out central partsin formation, stitches applied to said pressed areas in addition to saidthreads for assisting said threads in holding the formation.

2. A method for manufacturing trimming, including the steps ofcontinuously repeating a folded design in a strip of cloth material byforming a series of transverse folds, holding the edges of said fold-edstrip, pushing the central part of the upper edge portion of each ofsaid folds out of line with and upwardly from the remainder of said foldWhile said folds are being held, presing a longitudinal area in saidfolded strip on either side of said pushed out central portion, and thensecuring said folds together.
